Set up Outlook on your Mac

The first time you open Outlook 2016 for Mac, you'll be asked to enter your email address.

Enter your password for that email account.

Follow the prompts to complete the email account setup.

Once setup is complete, you'll receive a confirmation. Select Add Another Account if you have an additional email account you want to add to Outlook. Otherwise, select Done.

You have two options:

Sync your Google mail, calendar and contacts to the Microsoft Cloud. This means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between Google and Microsoft data centers. Having your mailbox data in the Microsoft Cloud lets you use the new features of Outlook 2016 for Mac with your Gmail account. Your experience on Gmail.com and within any apps from Google will remain unchanged. This option is available to all participants in the Insider Fast program right now. See Sync your Google account to the Microsoft Cloud for details.
